#NowCrocheting #ChristmasBell Here's the finished bell attached to the gift bag with all the rest of the ornaments. It's even got a little bell inside it. I'm really pleased with how it turned out 🔔🎄❤️

#NowCrocheting #ChristmasBell the bell is much more bell shaped now it's dry. Just got to attach a ribbon and a mini bell clapper.

#NowCrocheting #ChristmasBell soaked the bell in a glue mixture and put over a small bottle to dry into shape. Hoping it looks better tomorrow once I attach a ribbon and clapper to it 🙏🔔

#NowCrocheting #ChristmasBell round 8 done. My picots don't seem to be very evenly spaced and the bell looks a bit wonky. I'll soak it in PVA to stiffen tomorrow and hope I can make it more bell shaped.

#NowCrocheting #ChristmasBell round 7 was a nice easy little wavy round (once I'd remembered the half treble stitch). Final round now and need to remember how to do picot stitches...

#NowCrocheting #ChristmasBell round 6 was actually a nice easy round of mainly chains. Round 7 has a stitch I don't remember so I'll need to look up how to do it first.

#NowCrocheting #ChristmasBell round 5 was a nightmare because Izzy kept fucking kicking me and making me lose count so I booted her off the sofa. 3 rounds left and starting to form a bell shape but I'm now worried I'll run out of yarn 😬

#NowCrocheting #ChristmasBell round 4 went better - did it in one attempt. Round 5 is a similar pattern but we're increasing the number of stitches each time. I'm finding it hard to keep count and @izzypig.bsky.social is upside-down next to me and keeps kicking me.

#NowCrocheting #ChristmasBell had 3 attempts at the 3rd round.
The instructions are so fucking vague. It doesn't actually look any different yet does it?
Hopefully will manage the 4th round in one attempt but I'm not holding my breath.

#NowCrocheting #ChristmasBell I had to start the bell again as I'd totally screwed up the first time. Need to get this finished tonight so I have time to stiffen it with glue and leave to dry for a day.

I finally found a spare row counter and done the next round.
The pattern is really vague about stitch counts so I'm not entirely sure this is right.
I'll continue the next round tomorrow coz I've managed to sneak one more gig for the year in tonight.

Anyone remember this cat I crocheted for my great nephew a couple of years ago? Well I think one of my row counters got stuffed in there by accident as my niece told me she could feel something strange inside the toy! 😂

Managed to find 2 row counters but they're part of these abandoned projects. I also found that I'd repurposed my Wozniak tote as a knitting bag! Wondered where that had gone...

Well I've done the first round and it looks just about ok but now I can't find one of my row counters and I swear I must have 50 billion of them somewhere 😐

Ffs. I've already had to start again since I'd forgotten the difference between a US and UK double crochet stitch. Redone the starting ring but it looks messier than before. I may have to start again still...

This gift bag has been passed between me & my mom every year since 2013. Whoever has it must add a new knitted/crocheted ornament. It's my turn but I've not picked up my needles for over a year.
Wish me luck as I attempt this Christmas bell. I'll no doubt post sweary updates 🎄🧶
